I strive for simple life and simpler deeds,
Cut down on needs,
And minimize the multiples of me,
And wriggle free
Of whirligig complexity.
a cheerless chase is impracticable in twirlingly barometric whirligig whispering tunelessly into foaminess
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 14–20, 2026)
Cradle garden faithfully, free her petals.
Pluck bouquet and playfully tend her, kiss her.
Praise her beauty soulfully - stem and fragrance.
~ Whirligig love her.
SAND
airborne
dust devil
stinging whirligig
rips my hair, eyes, and skin
I’m well-scoured and abraded
“Cleansing sand storm, if I survive.”

Sniffs of cotton candy glide
Glistening like hairy sugar bombs
Through barns of dozy prized cows
Stinky squeaky piggies squeal off-key
While whirligig Ferris Wheels grind and spin
In the hum of the Tilt-A-Whirl and giddy voices

Spring mix sprinkled with balsamic and fig
A whirligig of walnuts and crisp cranberries
Décor’s sweet dawn of strawberries
A fork and buds to taste
At first so cold then so warm somehow
As fiber and vitamins rush
To aid the holiday’s overindulgence
Of snow and damp, fat and sweet

Floating on a repentant leaf.
Circling in flotsam fairy pond.
Drizzling leaves whirligig in dark.
Wayward wings beg woods to respond.
Tiny tears flooding maple boat.
The sentinel owl nods his head
as hearts resound with golden wings
whisking away prodigal’s dread.

Dear miss carousel
Dear lady on wheels
When next you declare another ride
Permit me lay by your side
For I have no lover
To spin my body around
No loving Father
Nor cherished motherland
I have been despised by the world
Miss whirligig,
My frame's trapped in the mud
Like an unclean pig.
I bid thee
Miss merry go round
Next Time
Take and spin me around.
How the igloo spectators did laugh
as I spun like some frozen giraffe
black ice caught me napping
jack frost “boo-boo” snapping
this whirligig skater a fly-half!

NB Jack Frost snapping as in taking a photograph when I cut a funny figure while trying to skate.
Fly-half in comic sense. Slipping and falling in comic rugby player mode
Whirligig comic weather-vane
My whirligig requires wind
So when the day is calm,
It sits there quite forlornly
Like it's lacking in aplomb.
But when the gusts are squalling
And the trees are pirouetting,
My whirligig starts spinning
And, oh, what a show I'm getting!
It has concentric circles
So it twirls in two directions.
The faster that it goes, the more
It gains in my affections.
Today the wind's cavorting
As I watch in pure delight
While my whirligig goes whirling
Like it's gearing up for flight.
